I am so sad for you and your family, fishhound. You loved Bobby so and did everything you could for him. He was so blessed by your love and your faith.
Dear Bobby, you fought the good fight and kept the faith. Now you are at rest in the arms of God.
Thank you for gracing this world a short while.
Rest in peace.
My mom is a two-time survivor of cancer (lung and breast) and I lost my pop back in March. I know what it’s like to watch loved ones suffer.
I pray the Lord will continue to bless you, your brother and the entire “Fishhound” family mightily as He obviously already has done. Remember Psalm 56:3 “When I am afraid, I will trust in Thee.”
Keep us posted.
Dear Fishhound, I had no idea when I read the post that it had the addition about your dear brother Bobby passing away.
My heart, indeed, goes out to you. Oh, I know the pain and it is still pretty new for me.
Prayers have been sent on your behalf.
All I know is that the Lord of Sorrows can turn sorrow to joy. I grieve for your loss. I entrust my grief, and I dare to entrust yours, to Him who turns evil into good and sorrow into rejoicing, knowing that now the grief is bitter.
If words could assuage it, it would not be grief. Grief is strong and hard. God is stronger. Weeping, we must remember that He wept.
I’m so sorry, and have said more prayers for all.
As you know, he is happier than he has ever been, but I know how you miss him.
I grieve for your loss; I rejoice in your brother’s journey home into His arms.
God Bless
Donna

Prayer BUMP
Oh fishhound! Heartfelt prayers have been sent!
So very sorry. Prayers for all.
Awww, fishhound... I join in prayer for you and your family during this time. Bobby is missed I know. You are a good brother...
I’m sorry fishhound. My prayers are now for your comfort in grief.
Prayers up.
I’m so sorry to read about your loss, fishhound, for Bobby’s wife and young child, for your entire family and all his friends whose lives he enriched. It is a blessing to you all that, however sad and tragic, Bobby’s illness brought you all together. Now, his pain is gone and he rests in the Lord’s loving arms.
I’m sorry for your loss and keep you and your family in my prayers.
Grab the memories on the hard days, as you pray through them. Share with your family and friends the crazy things, the happy things, the weird things, the things that made you proud of him.
While that loss still seems to fresh to me, I want to share something else with you and our dear friends here. My sister was taken unexpectedly, and the funeral was huge - which we did not expect. There were so many people there that we did not know; people whose lives Dee had touched. While I wondered about the message that day, the pastor brought the good news of salvation. We hoped it would reach someone. IT DID! It probably touched more people than we know, but ~ my parents got a letter at this time last year. It was written by a young lady who was a teen at the time my sister died. Dee had impacted her heart and life, and she had come the Lord after Dee died because of that touch. Not only that, she wrote in her letter that her whole family (parents and all) were now saved and going to church....all because of the seed my sister had sown. Fish, we never know who, or how many we have effected in our lives, as at times we may be the only Jesus people see. What glory to God!! I KNOW in my heart that while you were all in the huge struggle for Bobby's life, God was using those moments to reach out and touch the hearts of many others who were watching, and may be still watching.
May God wrap His loving arms of comfort and peace around you and your entire family, as you go through the next days, the holidays and the year with that empty spot. Hold onto the knowledge that it brought and is bringing Glory to God!!! Know that I and everyone else here are still praying, without ceasing, for you all.
Blessings,
He knows.
